Thank you for raising awareness and inviting discussion about this growing danger. Last June, Sierra Club BC and Herb Hammond called for a “climate impact test” for logging plans. Clearcuts currently in preparation or carried out across B.C. will increase emissions and exacerbate the climate emergency. Every hectare of newly clearcut forest leaves communities more vulnerable to flooding, wildfires and loss of clean water. Logging plans must be adjusted or cancelled as needed to address the climate emergency https://sierraclub.bc.ca/bc-must-declare-a-forest-and-climate-emergency/
Is there a link between large forest fires and the increasing area of logged forests and very young regrowth in BC?
